Citroen 2CV

I've wanted one for forever (don't ask why). I plan on getting myself a new car after college, and I'll probably end up with a 2CV. I have very little technical experience, but want to learn more. An old French beast like this is probably going to require a lot of upkeep/maintenance which doesn't really put me off, so I'm thinking this will be a good car to develop my mechanical skills on.

I rode in one, oh, almost two decades ago in Germany. I don't recall much about it except the push/pull shifter. And since we were driving strictly in a small town I could hardly comment on the performance.

That being said, they are supposed to be exceedingly simple in every possible way and, IIRC, could be bought as a kit to assemble at home. Also, since they were sold in some of the most challenging places in the world, I would imagine they are exceedingly easy to repair should they break.

I REALLY want one, or preferably a Renault 4 TL. However, my fantasy involves swapping in a motorcycle engine/transmission of some sort.... I firmly believe a V-twin in a 2CV or a Honda Goldwing powertrain in a R4 would be

Hmm...I grew up in that area and have seen that particular car in the Wilmette area a few times. So likely not your Canadian...

I'm not sure if it's the same one, but I do know he purchased it from a U.S. owner and drove it back. Either way, that's a gorgeous color combination... and if I were looking for a quirky old French car, I certainly would consider one.

2CV are sweet! Of the odd variants the Mehari and Sahara are best but a Sahara isn't a good first classic, way to expensive. They are prone to rust and were treated as disposable for most of their production run. The earliest ones are the prettiest and slowest. I want one but they've become quite expensive for what they are. At their current price I'd save up for a DS or traction...
